This project includes song texts and translations, video clips and interviews, essays and other resources relating to Franz Schubert’s song cycle Winterreise.

“Hampson’s [Winterreise]…is more active than reactive…he sees the poet in Winterreise as a sort of Promethean figure in great disharmony with his environment and in a huge struggle to contain and understand a soul…in bringing out the drama of storms, or picturing the cold wonder of white, barren landscapes, Hampson forced us to consider our own relationship with our surroundings, whatever they are and how they make us what we are.”
